This thread opens my eyes to the rest of the country (and world). Living in SW FL, I am currently shopping for my next set of summer tires and they need to go on soon as my stock tires are well past the wear bars at 17k miles. I guess instead of the trendy labeling of "First World Problems" I could call this a Warm World Problem. This week has been colder than average with a high of 73-75 and a low in the mid 50s. Sorry guys...had to.

I have mounted Blizzaks for our '02 MCS which I put on when the mood or weather hits us in November. I also went to 16" for those for more comfort. I love the Blizzak and we're starting year two on the second set. If money wasn't a consideration I'd be purchasing a set of winter wheels/Blizzaks for our '10 MCS which is still on the OEM all-seasons.
While here in Ohio we rarely have roads without salt and brine all over the place, there are those 3 - 4 storms when I'm glad we run the winter tires. No sense tip-toeing down the road because the tires are iffy when there are solutions.
